FCDS Student Scores for Brenner Children’s Hospital
By creating “Birdies Fore Babies” Quinlan Smith ’20 raised $2,310 to help children going through medical treatment. He asked family, close family friends, and Old Town Club members to make a pledge for each birdie he made this past year. The 85 birdies he carded in official tournament rounds hosted by various junior golf organizations and the FCDS Varsity Boys’ Golf season added up to a very generous donation.
Providing comfort to children in the hospital is personal to Quinlan. When he was 14 years old, Quinlan was seriously injured in a snowmobiling accident and spent Christmas in the hospital. Beyond gaining an appreciation for the doctors and nurses, he was affected by the unsettling feelings of a hospital stay. Since then he has been motivated to find ways to help kids in similar situations feel a little better during their hospital stays and medical treatment.
Quinlan’s goal is to continue his efforts and strive to raise an additional $4,000 in the next 12 months. “It’ll take more birdies and more donors to make it,” Smith says with a smile, “It’s a fun challenge for the upcoming year.” Congratulations to Quinlan for giving back to his community in a meaningful way!
